<p>Hello compiler team! As I mentioned on Friday, we are currently working on the 2021 Rust Survey, and we would love your feedback on what you would like to learn from the survey. To that end, I've created <a href="https://hackmd.io/@ryanlevick/rJFqnDV6O">a document</a> that outlines the "high-level" questions, we'd love to get answers to from survey data. This document is not meant as a place to discuss the survey question themselves but rather the questions we hope the survey data will help us answer. <strong>Please feel free to give it a read and leave any comments on what to add, remove, or improve.</strong> <br>
If you would like to participate in the effort, stop by <a class="stream" data-stream-id="294169" href="/#narrow/stream/294169-t-community.2Frust-survey-2021">#t-community/rust-survey-2021</a></p>

<p>I can't seem to add comments on mobile, but this seems to be missing any questions about tools. Can you also reach out to the devtools teams?</p>

<p>In particular, I'd like to know for rustdoc:</p>
<ul>
<li>How often do you encounter regressions or breaking changes?</li>
<li>Do you use nightly features for rustdoc but not for rustc? If so, which? Do you use them when compiling locally or only on <a href="http://docs.rs">docs.rs</a>?</li>
<li>What <code>#[doc]</code> attributes or command line options do you use the most, if any?</li>
</ul>

<p>Hmm and maybe "Do you know where to find documentation for rustdoc itself/do you know <code>doc.rlo/rustdoc</code> exists?"</p>

<p>Also this is more for my own curiosity, but I'd be interested knowing, of the people whose company gives them work time to contribute to open source, how many of them choose to contribute to a rust project (either the core project or a library they use)</p>

<p>You mean those attributes <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/the-doc-attribute.html">listed here</a>, correct?</p>
